Share (finance)

In finance, a share is a unit of account for many different financial things including stocks, mutual funds, limited partnerships, and REIT's.

Capital means the money being invested to start a new business. The owner of share is called shareholder.

In British English, it is common to use the word share to refer to stocks. This is because the word stock historically referred to government bonds. This is why the term stocks and share account is not a tautology.
